Board Books for Baby Showers

February 11, 2016 / 14 Comments

I’m at that point in my life where it seems like I have a baby shower once a month.  And as a librarian, my go-to baby shower gifts are books.  Books are awesome because parents can begin using them as soon as they receive them, reading to their baby in utero as well as for a number of years as their baby grows up.  So without further ado, here are some of my favorite Board Books for Baby Showers. Perfect gifts for the new baby in your world!
